social breakdown syndrome

social breakdown syndrome
deterioration of social and interpersonal skills, work habits, and behavior in persons confined in institutions for extended periods with little productive activity, such as long-term psychiatric patients or prisoners; it is caused by the effects of long-term institutionalization rather than any diagnosed mental disorder. Symptoms include excessive passivity, assumption of the chronic sick role, withdrawal, and apathy.
